    Default Top ten underrated Morrissey songs?

    http://www.stylusmagazine.com/articl...solo-songs.htm

    apologies if this has been brought up before, but I came across this article whilst searching for all things Morrissey related. What does everyone think of what the author has to say? Are these really that underrated in general, are they in the right order and more importantly - what's missing?!

    Recent forum poll result shows that "Jack The Ripper" is very popular and it's in No.21 the songs played live Morrissey's solo career (thanks to Johan who provided the info), which is one of the reasons its popularity.

    We also have "The Worst Song Poll", but I decided not to vote because these songs aren't so bad, just happened to be less popular than others.

    I knew somebody would have picked it up before now, it is pretty old! But never mind

    Jack The Ripper does seem to be a popular choice, it's getting to the point where it can't really be called underrated any more.

    Jack The Ripper can never be rated high enough.
    Pain is to pleasure as disco is to punk. You need to live through one to fully appreciate the other.

    I like Jack The Ripper alot, for the lyrics more than anything else. The chorus is gorgeous. It is one of those songs that revolves around your mind for days.

    A few of my favourite Morrissey songs are on that list, like I'd Love To and Alsatian Cousin. I'm not sure Seasick, Yet Still Docked and Late Night, Maudlin Street (both great) are underrated either, many fans are putting them on top of their favourite Moz songs.

    Not sure about I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday and You're Gonna Need Someone On Your Side - both are among my favourite Moz songs. How popular are they?

    I think that Maladjusted is a very underrated song, also Southpaw, Nobody Loves Us, Whatever Happens, I Love You, This Is Not Your Country, Yes, I Am Blind, Asian Rut, and others, he has lots of wonderful less known songs.

    It's about time someone says that! I thought I was the only one who felt this way...

    Oh, and to stay on-topic, I'd say the most underrated song is Hold On To Your Friends... yes, I know it was released as a single and all, but I noticed that a lot of people on this forum dislike it. I think that it's charming...

    I love Hold On To Your Friends, in my opinion it's an excellent song. It's all a matter of taste!

    With reference to that swallow tattoo, I've been trying to get a decent pic of that for ages. The one from the back of the Vauhall and I album thats just an outline, from what I remember, not the filled in one he sports on his hand. I think it's ace.
